In this long-term documentary, a film team follows the struggle of the residents of the Esso houses and their supporters. They filmed numerous demonstrations, were present at subversive actions and chest mobs, documented neighborhood meetings and captured insights into lovingly furnished living rooms - right up to the packing of the moving boxes. The film aims to ask important questions: Was the demolition really unavoidable? Should the ownership of ruins be rewarded with tailor-made development plans? Not only activists from the Esso-Häuser initiative and residents, neighbors and tradespeople have their say, but also politicians, investors and a star architect.
